I'm in Atlanta teaching the PPA Judges Workshop with Dennis Craft. We've got a great group of students! The days are long but it is so much fun to see the transformation as the students begin to get a handle on the judging process.
Dennis has taught the class for many years and he is great at helping the students to see that judging is not just punching in numbers, but a deep thought process that takes substantial thinking and the ability to put into words what your seeing and feeling about a print.
The transformation from each students first turn with a scoring pad, generally stumbling and strugling for words and validation of their score, to late yesterday watching someone move the panel seven or eight points with an eloquent challenge and rebuttal.
There are definitely some potentially good future affiliated jurors.
